~Cleaning House~

Cleaning House.

We’ve all had the feeling of needing to purge the less than wanted from our lives. The clutter, the trash, the broken, the old. Hopelessly scouring to reveal the clean slate our souls need.

Sometimes we rid ourselves of the people, the cluttered, the broken, the negative, the old to make way for the new, the better.

And sometimes we get cleaned out. Thrown out with the trash, let go like an heirloom that’s no longer loved.

It happens.

And we say and we hope, “It’s all for the best.” And maybe at first we don’t even notice the split. “We’re all better off.” Afterall.

Then there’s the times you see it happening all too slowly. You see the river widening, the shores split apart, you can see the ocean in the horizon, and you can look back to the small trickle that began it all.

I need both a literal and figurative house cleaning. My brain is cluttered with things I can’t recognize…at least I don’t really know what they are yet. This has inhibited me from reading and commenting on my favorite blogs! You’ve missed me, I know it. And…I need a literal house clearing! I swear that clutter in my house is a physical manifestation of my scatterbrainedness. I just hate it! I do, though, find it funny how so many of us go through this and I wonder, “Why?” What are we doing to ourselves, what standards are we setting and why the heck are we constantly trying to sabotage ourselves?!?!?! Huh…no really, I’m asking!!!

p.s.
Sabotage should be spelled with two “b’s”, because it looks better to me that way.
